What Our Eye Color Says About Our Personality

“Eyes are the window to the soul.” You’ve all heard that famous line, right? But that’s got us wondering — is it actually true? Well, numerous analysts have tried to get some answers. And what they found was fascinating: it seems our eye shade might actually reveal quite a bit about our character.

Plenty of research

There have been several studies on this topic at various points down the years, with one recent emerging in early 2007 at Sweden’s Orebro University. In that instance, nearly 430 people were examined. Analysts noted subjects’ eye colors, then correlated these shades with data results exploring their personalities in an attempt to spot a connection.

Fascinating connection

The researchers came to believe that there was a connective thread due to the genetics involved. As it turns out, the DNA strands that determine the colored part of our eyes have a big involvement in developing our brain’s frontal lobe, too. And that part of the organ helps determine a person’s character.

Taking notice

Since then, some other researchers have also looked into the topic, coming up with fascinating claims along the way. Something tells us that you’ll be taking more notice of your eye color after hearing them! On the subject of shade, most people around the globe are said to have brown and dark peepers.

Time to dive in...

As per the South West Londoner website, that figure stands at more than 70 percent globally. So what does that color say about a person’s personality, then? Well, using the information from the analyses, we’ll be examining each of the six shades you can sport, and how they supposedly reflect your character.
